Orlando Weather: Showers and thunderstorms fading as the week comes to a close

ORLANDO, Fl - You can expect last of the showers and thunderstorms will taper off this evening. Partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies are on tap for the rest of the overnight with temperatures in the low to mid 70s.

Looking Ahead: 

Temperatures for the start of the workweek will stay through the upper 80s and low 90s with lows in the mid 70s.

Rain chances will stay scattered Monday through Thursday.

A boundary laced over central Florida will keep tropical moisture over the region from Helene, making a humid start to the work week.

However, we are watching the possibility for another round of tropical activity late next week and next weekend.

Tropics Update:

Isaac remains a Category 1 hurricane, while Joyce is a tropical storm in the mid-Atlantic, with no impact on the U.S. Joyce is expected to weaken into a post-tropical depression by Tuesday.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Twelve is following Joyce's path and could strengthen into a Category 2 hurricane, to be named Kirk. Like Joyce, Kirk is not expected to affect the U.S.

Another tropical wave just off the west coast of Africa has a 30% chance of developing into a storm as it trails behind Joyce and Twelve.

In the western Caribbean and Gulf, there's potential for a new tropical system to form. Some wonder why, since Helene recently formed in the same area. However, Helene did not "reset" the atmosphere, as the waters in the Gulf remain warm, and Helene wasn’t strong enough to cool them down. Low wind shear in the same region creates favorable conditions for another storm to develop.

This new system could impact Florida and the Gulf Coast between October 5-9, so the area should be closely monitored.
